An observational study in Complete Edentulism, sponsored by Hôpital Rothschild. Completed. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2017-09-14.
Sponsored by Hôpital Rothschild · Observational
Esthetic is a major factor in complete denture (CD) success. Patient involvement in esthetic project plays a crucial role in denture acceptance and patient satisfaction. Historically, teeth choice and arrangement were made according to Frush and Ficher's recommendations focusing on natural looking of esthetics. Dentists may also propose to restore the dentate state looking for denture when preextraction data are available. Recently, a patient-centered approach based on attractivity has been proposed and may lead to in an appearance transcending the laws of nature.
The aim of the present study was to investigate actual denture esthetic expectations in a French edentate population followed in a university dental clinic (Rothschild Hospital , AP-HP).
Inclusion criteria : being currently edentulous within at least within the maxillary arch, literate French speakers, willing and able to complete the survey in a single sitting. Clinical data collection was made by a unique examiner and concerned length of edentulism, antagonist arch, existence of preextraction data, smile attractivity opinion. The respondents completed a questionnaire identifying their age, sex, educational and income level. Patients were also asked for their denture look preference among 4 esthetic projects: 1) restoring pre-extraction (dentate) looking, 2) restoring actual denture looking, 3) creating natural looking, 4) creating perfect looking, 5) no opinion. Each project was explained similarly by the same examiner. Statistical analysis using a Pearson Chi-squared test at a 0.05 level of significance was conducted for associations between esthetic projects preference and tested variables.
Totally edentulous subjects (20 women, 22 men, mena aged: 67.9 ± 12.2 years) attending maxillary CD in the department of prosthodontics of the Hopital Rothschild (AP-HP) are concerned by recruitment and are proposed to participate.
